I have a very liberal co-worker and we get along (we never discuss politics) and she went on a rant about about trans rights and the ban on the transing of children in Texas and gave the usual screed about old white men and then she kept going on about how she couldn't believe anyone would be stupid enough to vote for Gov. Abbott. That was when I told her that I had voted for him and she was shocked and said she thought I was more progressive. I then asked her if a kid can tell you that he/she is the opposite sex and we have to take that as the gospel truth, then why can't a 10 year old tell me that he wants beer for him and his friends at his birthday party because he is mature enough to make such a decision. Heck, why have any restrictions for kids?
She told me it wasn't the same thing and walked away. I remember about 20 years ago someone told me that the end game for the lgbt activists (not the ones who truly want to be left alone of course) was pedophilia and I told him that he was being paranoid. Now, I fear that the day is common with the mainstream media will openly defend pedophilia once they can "normalize" a kid changing their sex.
Think you are missing the cult of science. "Believe the science." They have offloaded this entire discussion to experts. Because the science and the experts recommend affirming care, it cannot be harmful. They will avoid any knowledge counter to this belief and ignore facts counter to this belief.
This is similar to the vax cult. You are not allowed to suggest that they are in anyway unsafe. Even if you literally take it infront of them and die, they'll probably just say, "pre-existing condition" All the data about never tested against true placebos, no real safety tracking because voluntary, bias structured testing, corporate capture of approval committees, everything that's been disclosed now about mRNA risks. Nope, anyone who questions effectiveness and safety is a anti-vaxxer. No amount of data could matter, the discuss already took place between experts! The news told me. Government indoctrination camps (schools) told me,
Also very true. This is how they enforce their backwards ideology, but I maintain it is still important to understand exactly what they believe so we can properly identify the problem.
